Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Canberras Hit one O four point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's rotten Gabby Rat Gabbie's Christmas Movie Showdown.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
I've seen a few movies over the weekend and there's
two that I need to talk about. The first being Wicked.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Okay, well it's time for one.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's not well, welch about Wicked only just came out
on Thursday. I know it's not a Christmas it's no,
but it's coming out at Christmas, so it counts. It's
like die Hard.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Because Christmas, that's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Basic Christmas. Well, it's not about Christmas, that's right anyway, Wicked, right,
So it came out on Thursday. So I went on Thursday,
and I went at nine thirty am Thursday, which meant
there was me and three other people in the cinema,
which was like the Dream at the Imax. Amazing. I've
seen a lot of people talking about Wicked and how
it's not the same vibe as the first one as
(00:54):
Part one.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Which is impossible given it was filmed at the exact
same time.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
So it is very possible because it is a very
different vibe.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I've seen some people in the mirror in my house.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
No people are complaining about it, but I just need
to put it out there that it is meant to
be a different vibe. So if you're going there for
the high school pop hits of the first one, you're
going to be disappointed. So everyone needs to be ready
for a darker, more somba, a little bit more dramatically
sad kind of part two. And if you're aware of that,
(01:38):
then you will absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We say this when we hear Knew songs, though, do
you know what I mean? We go, it's not as
good as the last thing we heard from this artist,
and it's not an artist, it's a film. But then
we hear it half a dozen times and we're still
belting it out and it's like a breakup album, do
you know what I mean? Like, you've got to have
one of these.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You've got to have the dark to the light. And
that's what this is like. The first half was there
was like light and fluffy and friendship and beautiful, and
the second one is like the drama and the evil
that comes out. Anyway, it was so so good. However,
if you are going to go see it, make sure
you take a couple of tissues. I loved that I
was there by myself in my like five rows of
(02:18):
seats at the cinema because I could bare my eyes
out and no one would know. And I thought no
one would know. And then I left and I was
walking around the shops for a good half hour before
I went to the bathroom and I looked and I
had mascara all down my face.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
People just thought it was young.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Back.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
This is wrong, rapped on camera on four point seven.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Christmas movies are the best at this time of year.
They're meant to be cringey. They're meant to be a
little bit predictable, but they're meant to just make you
feel warm and fuzzy.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And I've watched a lot of Christmas movies in mad time.
I've even watched the two that have currently been released
on Netflix. They're releasing one every week up until Christmas
that they've put due the Gift to us. But I
also found on Disney Plus a Very Jonas Christmas Movie,
which is the Jonas brothers who have created their very
special Christmas movie for this time of year.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
This is new. I saw the slide come up on
it the other day.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, when I saw it, I was like, I gotta
watch it and I let's watch a little bit of
the trailer and then we'll discuss because it's just it's
so good.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Okay, you This will help Gabbi's Christmas showdown and the
countdown too.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Christmas will help you decide.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Which movies to watch because the moment.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Comes, it doesn't matter. We've got fifty eight streaming options.
The moment comes. Yeah, there's nothing on.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
But there's fifty million Christmas movies. Which one do I pick?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Let's go, Hello London, Merry Christmas week. Who are guys?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Are you boys?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
You're okay with Get into the plane tomorrow without me.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Bright.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
There's the great thing about the Jonas brothers is they
play themselves and you can't mess that up. No, So
for a second I thought it was a concert Christmas film.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Oh no, it's an actual movie.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Right, But they're playing themselves, so they will perform in
the concert during the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
There's also songs throughout that they like, just walking through
cities of like Amsterdam or whatever. Now is having a sing?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It is so good the way I want to live
my life. Then is that his wife?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, that's his actual wife. He's background, yes.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Not surprisingly, she looks like a model.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I just thought, have they put Franka Chopra? Stunning?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I thought they put a fake family in there.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
No, it's the actual partners and kids in this movie.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Which Jonas brother is that?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That was the youngest one?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Nick?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Where's the where's the bonus? Jonas? Where's the little one?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
He doesn't make an appearance.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Their mom says to them, every one of these movies.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
They make, take your brother along, put your brother.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
In the film.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And that was here in the end.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
He better have been in the end, you know what.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I wasn't paying attention. He might have been there. They say,
he's not even in the bend because they all get
together like it's a family Christmas. So maybe he should
have been.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
It's not a family Christmas with that notice him.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But that's how he goes.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
It's got a famous rock star like you so down.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
As the Jonas brothers were great, but us as brothers
like actually, whatever magic was there, it's just that.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Oh chills, chills.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
So, I mean, I was so into this movie. They
take the mickey out of themselves so well. They're all
talking about how like as brothers they're not getting along
and they're just doing it as a job, like they're
just colleagues at this point, and so they're all doing
Christmas separately. So the guy that Joe is currently talking
(05:33):
to at the bar is set up, of course it is,
and so he casts his spell, which means they won't
get home for Christmas until they repair their brotherly bond.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Important to note you can't see it, obviously. He's not
in the apt He's not.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's just a bit of a white beard. He's a
center in disguise.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
He's an older gentleman with a graying beard, just sitting
in a bar.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
And he appears a number of times in the movie.
Sat and I have never loved left so hard at
a Christmas movie, you know, since Home Alone? I reckon
it's been that long, and this is the best Christmas
movie I've seen in that amount of time.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's not exactly the review. The Jonas brothers.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Were hoping for the best movie since Home Alone.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No, not a comedy. I love, No, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It's absolutely a comedy. It looks like No, it is
a million percent a comedy.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Taking very seriously.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
No, they're taken the mickey out of themselves and it
is the best and the songs are funny. And there's
like a home alone musical, like little cameo bit in
there that doesn't exist, but they've created it as part
of them. It is so funny.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Does Macaulay cul can make a cameo?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
No, because it's the West End production of Homeland Music.
It doesn't exist, but it is. It's just phenomal And
Will Farrell's in there, like there's a few famous cameos.
It is so, so, so very good.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
That is Gabby's gift to you, and watch the Trust.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Gabby will be organizing a Disney Plus subscription for you
as well.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
He's rungety wrapped on camera, se him on a four
point seven and.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Nick's guest is in New York and has blown up
on the socials over the last few years. The biggest
viral comedy star in the world these days. And we're
very lucky that Ge and Macassi coming a camera.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I'm amazed that I do this for a living because
I have a lot of anxiety and I've gotten it
under control. When I was a kid, I had anxiety attacks.
I the first anxiety attack I ever I ever had.
I was at the circus and I was I was
having a good time until the Tightrope Walker came out,
and that's when I realized I couldn't breathe. You know,
(07:40):
I was just sitting there like, oh, what is he
doing up there? Why are you all applauding this guy?
He could die at any second. And that's what it
feels like watching Joe Biden give a speech. Every time
he starts understanding that's I'm like, oh, he's not gonna
make it. Oh my god, So somehow I guess. So
the end turns around, it's on a bicycle.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm like, g and Marco Sorassi, good I congratulations, mate,
this is going fantastically.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
That's thank you for playing that. It's you know, I
I had to release that early because it was it
was after the debate with Joe Biden, and I was
so nervous he was going to drop out. Uh luckily
not for America, but he took about a month. But
I had to release that whole special very early.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh that's a very good point. And yes, it was
a pivotal debate.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
It ended.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You know, he's run a second term for the presidency.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Of the US.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
You're you're in the think of it over there in
New York. You just got yourself a new mayor.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
We did, we did. It's people are are feeling very
good about it. But we'll see, you will see. I've
been hopeful before, so I I allowed myself to feel
good for the night.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I think.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I think it's good for New York and now we'll see.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That's the That's a very common sentiment, I'm sure when
it comes to politics. I need to ask you about
your posters for your tour, because you're doing the culturally
flexible tour and the main poster for throughout Asia is
an animated you with arms that are going everywhere and
very stretchy. But the one for Australia is you animated
(09:22):
naked in a kangaroo pose. What are the thoughts there?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yes, well I didn't see a kangaroo my first time there,
and it was very disappointing for me personally. Now I
know I'm not so I'm not so new to Australia.
I know it's not like hop and around everywhere, but
I grew up in Maryland and we have deer everywhere,
so I want to see a kangaroo and so the
poster is not for you it's the it's for the
(09:48):
ruse and in the hopes that they come out to
the show as well.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Them out.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I got some good news coming to camera, and I
get it there are It's funny we have Australians that
come to camera and go, whoa, what's going on here?
Because they will literally grow up in spots in Australia
and not see a kangaroo as well, but you will
see a kangaroo dead or alive here somewhere near the roads.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Oh I'm sorry to say that. I'm intrigued by seeing
dead as well.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh they're every couple of meters on the side of
the road on your way into Canbra So yeah, wow,
prepare yourself for that.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
It's not we don't promote it, it's not on the
billboard coming into town, but.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
It's going to happen.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Yeah yeah, well, well good to know. I'm now I'm
even more looking forward to my show set.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I'm imagining the poster for the next time you come
to Australia and it's not going to be pretty No,
how did the jokes go When you're touring around the
States and you're doing your Trump and your Epstein and
your Bush and whoever political figures they are jokes? How
do they land?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I would say that comedies changed a lot in that
the audiences are more reflect of what I've cultivated than
necessarily the politics of whatever city you're in. If I'm
in a southern city, there's in fact, it can be
(11:13):
the most liberal, left leaning queer hair dye show there is,
because I'm probably the closest thing to a gay function
that night in Mississippi. Yes, so yeah, in a way,
it can be like supercharged politically when I'm in those places,
(11:36):
as opposed to like, you know, getting booed or something.
I have to be more careful not to pander. That's
more my challenge.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You said, you don't pander to wherever you go, But
do you have to change it a little bit for
Australia because it is a different Like we maybe don't
understand some of the political jokes from a Marriorica.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Well, it's shocking how much you do understand though, you know,
like I don't know who your prime minister is right now,
I know the one that we're missing swimming and they
built the pool and I.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Okay, I do, I do?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I picked up on a couple of things.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Who knew that Harold Holt's abduction by whoever was piloting
that submarine when he went for a swim is what
we're most famous for politically around the world. Well, we're
sorry to have stoked the New Yorker anxiety with the
mention of kangaroo road kill that awaits you when you
return to Australia and visit Canberra for the first time.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
We're so lucky to have you here.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Gan Marco returns to Australia to kick off the twoenty
twenty six national tour, The Drama King Tour, coming to
Canbra Playhouse Theater Friday, January twenty three. Get those tickets
if there's any left, and get them fast because they
will go so so quickly.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We appreciate the time, mate. We can't wait to see
you here in Canberra.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Baks case, take care.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
This is Rongabby wrapped on camera. Sit on four point seven.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Hep you are one week of spring to go, and
then if we haven't got the tree up, we look
like idiots. Once one a time, it was oh, let's
try and get it up first weekend of December.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
It was always that rule in my house. But then
I was like, you know what, I want Joey for longer.
And so I've loosened the reins, loosened the rules.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Wherever you are, don't feel bad. I'm with you. There's
been talk at this for three weeks.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, but all of a sudden, there's one weekend left
to get it done. And I don't know that the
next story is to do with Christmas, but it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Feels like it. It feels like an And this is
a warning for anyone out there who is putting lights
up for Christmas. So my husband has always called himself
the Grinch because he was ever really into the Christmas
spirit and like making it this big thing until we
had our daughter, and all of a sudden he is
so into it. And we got all these Christmas lights
that we've put up, and there was some on the
(13:57):
hedges and there's some like around the front of the house.
And he's like, nah, I want more, Like who are you?
Who is this person? I love it? But where'd you
come from? So he was up on the ladder on
the weekend sussing out the gutters for lights.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Let me check the load bearing capacity of the gutters.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Girl Dad life.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Once we become dads to daughters.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Everything needs to be saved.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yes, and it does. We're singing dancing machines right sorts.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, he was like really into the Wiggles on the weekend. Anyway,
back to the So he's up the ladder and I'm
sitting in the lounge room. Olivia is down for a nap,
so we're just having a bit of quiet time and
he's up checking out the gutters on his massive ladder.
And then I hear this almighty bang and I heard
the ladder fall, like just smacked down onto the ground
outside the window I was sitting at and I freaked out.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I really freaked out.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I didn't my mouth said hell before I stopped and thought,
what did you just say?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Okay, that's all right.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
So I got up and I ran out the door.
And I was running out the door, thinking I'm just
going to find him sprawled on the ground, like it's
going to be so bad. And I had my phone
with me, like just in case I needed to cool
an ambulance, Like my brain went to the worst place,
and I just ran out there and I was like oh.
And then as I got out the front door, all
I could see were these legs hanging in front of me,
and he was still clutching onto the roof to the
(15:24):
ladder's gone, the ladder's on the ground, and he's just hanging.
And there was only a couple of seconds where I
was like, what do I do? Do I catch you?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
That's a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Anyway, he managed to have the mindfulness to lower himself
down and jump and that was fine. He was fine.
He has a bit of a scrape on his arm
from the roof tiles, but apart from that he was fine.
But the gutters, the.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Guns, that's what the whole thing was.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I was actually just doing up of flying colors, everything
we needed to know
Speaker 1 (16:02):
To
On Canberras Hit one O four point seven.

It's rotten Gabby Rat Gabbie's Christmas Movie Showdown.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
He doesn't make an appearance.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Their mom says to them, every one of these movies.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
They make, take your brother along, put your brother.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
In the film.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And that was here in the end.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
He better have been in the end, you know what.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I wasn't paying attention. He might have been there. They say,
he's not even in the bend because they all get
together like it's a family Christmas. So maybe he should
have been.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
It's not a family Christmas with that notice him.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But that's how he goes.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
It's got a famous rock star like you so down.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
As the Jonas brothers were great, but us as brothers
like actually, whatever magic was there, it's just that.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Oh chills, chills.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
So, I mean, I was so into this movie. They
take the mickey out of themselves so well. They're all
talking about how like as brothers they're not getting along
and they're just doing it as a job, like they're
just colleagues at this point, and so they're all doing
Christmas separately. So the guy that Joe is currently talking
(05:33):
to at the bar is set up, of course it is,
and so he casts his spell, which means they won't
get home for Christmas until they repair their brotherly bond.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Important to note you can't see it, obviously. He's not
in the apt He's not.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's just a bit of a white beard. He's a
center in disguise.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
He's an older gentleman with a graying beard, just sitting
in a bar.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
And he appears a number of times in the movie.
Sat and I have never loved left so hard at
a Christmas movie, you know, since Home Alone? I reckon
it's been that long, and this is the best Christmas
movie I've seen in that amount of time.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's not exactly the review. The Jonas brothers.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Were hoping for the best movie since Home Alone.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No, not a comedy. I love, No, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It's absolutely a comedy. It looks like No, it is
a million percent a comedy.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Taking very seriously.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
No, they're taken the mickey out of themselves and it
is the best and the songs are funny. And there's
like a home alone musical, like little cameo bit in
there that doesn't exist, but they've created it as part
of them. It is so funny.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Does Macaulay cul can make a cameo?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
No, because it's the West End production of Homeland Music.
It doesn't exist, but it is. It's just phenomal And
Will Farrell's in there, like there's a few famous cameos.
It is so, so, so very good.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
That is Gabby's gift to you, and watch the Trust.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Gabby will be organizing a Disney Plus subscription for you
as well.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
He's rungety wrapped on camera, se him on a four
point seven and.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Nick's guest is in New York and has blown up
on the socials over the last few years. The biggest
viral comedy star in the world these days. And we're
very lucky that Ge and Macassi coming a camera.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I'm amazed that I do this for a living because
I have a lot of anxiety and I've gotten it
under control. When I was a kid, I had anxiety attacks.
I the first anxiety attack I ever I ever had.
I was at the circus and I was I was
having a good time until the Tightrope Walker came out,
and that's when I realized I couldn't breathe. You know,
(07:40):
I was just sitting there like, oh, what is he
doing up there? Why are you all applauding this guy?
He could die at any second. And that's what it
feels like watching Joe Biden give a speech. Every time
he starts understanding that's I'm like, oh, he's not gonna
make it. Oh my god, So somehow I guess. So
the end turns around, it's on a bicycle.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm like, g and Marco Sorassi, good I congratulations, mate,
this is going fantastically.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
That's thank you for playing that. It's you know, I
I had to release that early because it was it
was after the debate with Joe Biden, and I was
so nervous he was going to drop out. Uh luckily
not for America, but he took about a month. But
I had to release that whole special very early.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh that's a very good point. And yes, it was
a pivotal debate.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
It ended.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You know, he's run a second term for the presidency.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Of the US.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
You're you're in the think of it over there in
New York. You just got yourself a new mayor.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
We did, we did. It's people are are feeling very
good about it. But we'll see, you will see. I've
been hopeful before, so I I allowed myself to feel
good for the night.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I think.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I think it's good for New York and now we'll see.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That's the That's a very common sentiment, I'm sure when
it comes to politics. I need to ask you about
your posters for your tour, because you're doing the culturally
flexible tour and the main poster for throughout Asia is
an animated you with arms that are going everywhere and
very stretchy. But the one for Australia is you animated
(09:22):
naked in a kangaroo pose. What are the thoughts there?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yes, well I didn't see a kangaroo my first time there,
and it was very disappointing for me personally. Now I
know I'm not so I'm not so new to Australia.
I know it's not like hop and around everywhere, but
I grew up in Maryland and we have deer everywhere,
so I want to see a kangaroo and so the
poster is not for you it's the it's for the
(09:48):
ruse and in the hopes that they come out to
the show as well.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Them out.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I got some good news coming to camera, and I
get it there are It's funny we have Australians that
come to camera and go, whoa, what's going on here?
Because they will literally grow up in spots in Australia
and not see a kangaroo as well, but you will
see a kangaroo dead or alive here somewhere near the roads.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Oh I'm sorry to say that. I'm intrigued by seeing
dead as well.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh they're every couple of meters on the side of
the road on your way into Canbra So yeah, wow,
prepare yourself for that.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
It's not we don't promote it, it's not on the
billboard coming into town, but.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
It's going to happen.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Yeah yeah, well, well good to know. I'm now I'm
even more looking forward to my show set.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I'm imagining the poster for the next time you come
to Australia and it's not going to be pretty No,
how did the jokes go When you're touring around the
States and you're doing your Trump and your Epstein and
your Bush and whoever political figures they are jokes? How
do they land?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I would say that comedies changed a lot in that
the audiences are more reflect of what I've cultivated than
necessarily the politics of whatever city you're in. If I'm
in a southern city, there's in fact, it can be
(11:13):
the most liberal, left leaning queer hair dye show there is,
because I'm probably the closest thing to a gay function
that night in Mississippi. Yes, so yeah, in a way,
it can be like supercharged politically when I'm in those places,
(11:36):
as opposed to like, you know, getting booed or something.
I have to be more careful not to pander. That's
more my challenge.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You said, you don't pander to wherever you go, But
do you have to change it a little bit for
Australia because it is a different Like we maybe don't
understand some of the political jokes from a Marriorica.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Well, it's shocking how much you do understand though, you know,
like I don't know who your prime minister is right now,
I know the one that we're missing swimming and they
built the pool and I.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Okay, I do, I do?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I picked up on a couple of things.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Who knew that Harold Holt's abduction by whoever was piloting
that submarine when he went for a swim is what
we're most famous for politically around the world. Well, we're
sorry to have stoked the New Yorker anxiety with the
mention of kangaroo road kill that awaits you when you
return to Australia and visit Canberra for the first time.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
We're so lucky to have you here.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Gan Marco returns to Australia to kick off the twoenty
twenty six national tour, The Drama King Tour, coming to
Canbra Playhouse Theater Friday, January twenty three. Get those tickets
if there's any left, and get them fast because they
will go so so quickly.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We appreciate the time, mate. We can't wait to see
you here in Canberra.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Baks case, take care.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
This is Rongabby wrapped on camera. Sit on four point seven.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Hep you are one week of spring to go, and
then if we haven't got the tree up, we look
like idiots. Once one a time, it was oh, let's
try and get it up first weekend of December.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
It was always that rule in my house. But then
I was like, you know what, I want Joey for longer.
And so I've loosened the reins, loosened the rules.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Wherever you are, don't feel bad. I'm with you. There's
been talk at this for three weeks.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, but all of a sudden, there's one weekend left
to get it done. And I don't know that the
next story is to do with Christmas, but it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Feels like it. It feels like an And this is
a warning for anyone out there who is putting lights
up for Christmas. So my husband has always called himself
the Grinch because he was ever really into the Christmas
spirit and like making it this big thing until we
had our daughter, and all of a sudden he is
so into it. And we got all these Christmas lights
that we've put up, and there was some on the
(13:57):
hedges and there's some like around the front of the house.
And he's like, nah, I want more, Like who are you?
Who is this person? I love it? But where'd you
come from? So he was up on the ladder on
the weekend sussing out the gutters for lights.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Let me check the load bearing capacity of the gutters.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Girl Dad life.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Once we become dads to daughters.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Everything needs to be saved.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yes, and it does. We're singing dancing machines right sorts.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, he was like really into the Wiggles on the weekend. Anyway,
back to the So he's up the ladder and I'm
sitting in the lounge room. Olivia is down for a nap,
so we're just having a bit of quiet time and
he's up checking out the gutters on his massive ladder.
And then I hear this almighty bang and I heard
the ladder fall, like just smacked down onto the ground
outside the window I was sitting at and I freaked out.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I really freaked out.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I didn't my mouth said hell before I stopped and thought,
what did you just say?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Okay, that's all right.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
So I got up and I ran out the door.
And I was running out the door, thinking I'm just
going to find him sprawled on the ground, like it's
going to be so bad. And I had my phone
with me, like just in case I needed to cool
an ambulance, Like my brain went to the worst place,
and I just ran out there and I was like oh.
And then as I got out the front door, all
I could see were these legs hanging in front of me,
and he was still clutching onto the roof to the
(15:24):
ladder's gone, the ladder's on the ground, and he's just hanging.
And there was only a couple of seconds where I
was like, what do I do? Do I catch you?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
That's a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Anyway, he managed to have the mindfulness to lower himself
down and jump and that was fine. He was fine.
He has a bit of a scrape on his arm
from the roof tiles, but apart from that he was fine.
But the gutters, the.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Guns, that's what the whole thing was.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I was actually just doing up of flying colors, everything
we needed to know
Speaker 1 (16:02):
